Special Scenario Rules

Many scenarios will feature extra rules. The following are clarifications for common special scenario rules:

Spawning

When a monster is spawned, it is set up on the map at its spawning location or the nearest empty hex to that location. If a monster is spawned at the end of a round, it will begin to activate on the following round. If a monster is spawned during a round, it activates as if it had just been revealed.

Locked door

Some doors are classified as "locked", which means they cannot be opened by a character moving onto them. Instead, they act as walls until the conditions to open them specified in the scenario book are met.

Pressure plates

Pressure plates function similarly to corridors, in that they have no effect on a figure's movement. Instead, if a pressure plate is occupied by a character at the end of a turn, it may trigger a special effect specified in the scenario book, such as opening a door or spawning a monster.

Destroying obstacles

When an obstacle is specified as having hit points in the scenario book, it can be attacked and will be destroyed and removed from the board when it drops below 1 hit point. Obstacles with hit points can only be destroyed through damage and not through other character abilities. These obstacles are considered enemies for all ability
purposes and have an initiative of 99 for the purpose of summon focusing, but they are immune to all negative conditions.

Objective and scenario aid tokens

Objective tokens a are used in many scenarios to represent allied figures or loot locations. In the case of allied figures, the numbers on the tokens should be randomized when placed, with the numbers determining the figures' activation order. Scenario aid tokens b can be placed on the map tiles to act as a reminder for special cases, such as where enemies spawn or when to read numbered sections from the scenario book.

Named monsters

Often times the goal of a scenario is to kill a specific monster, either a boss or a unique variant of a regular monster, as specified in the scenario rules. These monsters are not considered normal or elite and thus are not affected by character abilities that target only normal or elite monsters.

Equations

Some scenario properties such as hit points for obstacles or named monsters are determined by equations that depend on the scenario level and the number of characters. In such instances, "L" is used to denote the scenario level, and "C" is used to denote the number of characters.
